The property is near lots of attractions. The free parking and wi-fi made the package that much more appealing. The room was immaculate.

The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Chocolate treats on checkout are a nice bonus. I stay here on every visit to S.F. I enjoy the proximity to Bart/Muni, good restaurants in the area. This is a great value.

Easy to get everywhere, and plenty of good food and drink just steps away

Every place I needed to go was within walking distance, shopping, dining, gym, and entertainment. Didn't have to use public transportation. Hotel was very secure, extremely clean and well maintained. I would book it again.

This property has been on Booking.com since Jul 2, 2010.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

I stayed here with my girlfriend for just over a week. We wanted to be near the centre but not pay over the odds so this place was perfect in that regard. We walked everywhere every day (it was about 15 minutes to Union Square) The staff were incredibly helpful and the room was very comfortable and spacious. I would recommend going to breakfast at Brenda's (opposite the lodge) but get there early as the queues can be long!

The room could have done with some tea/coffee facilities. Tenderloin is a dodgy area and we saw some suspicious looking characters but luckily we did not encounter any problems - as long as you do not walk about at night you should be fine. The hotel staff also tell you which streets to avoid.

The room was very clean and comfortable. It is within walking distance to Chinatown, Japantown and Union Square which was nice as we were not continually looking for parking. The room also had a balcony. The staff was extremely helpful with insights to the area. I would both stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Disappointing

Free Parking.

The room was spacious and that was all. No hair dryer. The water pressure in the shower was like more dripping than showering. Window curtains were old, stained. And Tenderloin district is not an attractive area of Frisco at all.... I have a lot (of bad things) to say about this motel but the most turn-off thing was Mrs...(whatever her name was) was rather rude. She was such a grumpy old woman! It was painful just to think of her sour attitude!

The staff was great! Very friendly and helpful.

The neighborhood is sketchy after dark. Yes it is the Tenderloin, but it is fairly close to Van Ness and businesses, walking around after dark can be scary if you are not used to it.
The bed could use a topper or something because they were not very comfortable. There were no extra blankets available in the room so we had to run the heater.

* It was located close to the BART station and Market street lines, and very near to the event site I was going to.
* Yes, the neighborhood is a bit dodgy.... but I found some nice places not yet gentrified and very welcoming. This site is next to the "class-line" with businesses of a "upper-sense" along Van Ness Blvd. and a breakfast place with "English-style" dishes and a Vietnamese fusion shop within the tenderloin section.
* The overall site was clean and pleasant looking. For the price, and if you don't expect much in perks (like coffee machine, etc), you can see it as a solid place to stay.

* I was met by a elder who seemed to be on the wrong side of the "web."
She set the tenor of my stay: I didn't cherish the thought of asking for much help after that.
* The crack beneath the door that allowed a breeze slightly less than that which the homeless outside were dealing with that night. I eventually placed towels against the crack which allowed some of the heat (which one couldn't adjust above 70 or so) to stay inside...and I was able to keep warmer than prior to...
* The two chairs in the room worked better as a slide than as a tool to sit and work. As I wanted to do some writing I found it necessary to find a coffeehouse to do so...
* The walls had scuff marks on them...minor I suppose but when it is one of the first things you see....

This is a place to sleep, period. The price is right and free parking saves you about another $30 to $50 a night. Location is on the edge of a dodgy neighborhood, but that doesn't matter because you are going to get back in your car and drive someplace cool.

Friendly staff

The heater in our room was not working and we were left with a small radiator heater that took hours to warm up the room, the carpet was filthy, one of the wall outlets was not working so we were left with only a couple available, no bathroom fan, no extra key was given.
Close to the Tenderloin
